Jute 'activated charcoal', a new export item made out of jute sticks, has the potential to help the
country attain its export target of US$ 60 billion by 2021 if the sector gets necessary policy supports
from the government, according to the sector insiders.

The charcoal is scientifically known as 'Jute Stick Charcoal Dust Powder', also commonly
known as 'jute stick carbon'.

Bangladesh started producing 'activated charcoal' since 2012.

The country exported jute stick carbon to China and earned Tk 140 million during the fiscal
year (FY) 2015-16.

Bangladesh enjoys duty-free market access to China.

The volume of 'activated charcoal' export could be doubled to access the duty-free market
facility offered by China.

There are wide ranges of demand for charcoal in different countries. Bangladesh could also
export the item to Japan, Turkey, the United States, Australia, Taiwan, Canada, Mexico and

the Republic of Korea (ROK).

Products like face wash, dried ink of photocopier machine, water filtering, medicines to destroy
poison and clean teeth are being made by activated charcoal, according to the industry
insiders.

At present, charcoal is produced in

Jamalpur, Narayanganj, Rajshahi, Pabna,
Rajbari and Faridpur districts.
The country produces 3.0 million tonnes of
jute stick annually. Of these, if 50 per cent
of jute sticks are properly used, then
2,50,000 tonnes of charcoal could be
produced yearly, helping the country earn
over Tk 20 billion through export.

There are 25 charcoal production factories

in the country.
About the method of charcoal production,
entrepreneurs said they first burn dried jute
sticks naturally. And after burning, there
are ash/ carbon powder (charcoal) that contains over 86 per cent of carbon.
Considering the huge export opportunity, many foreigners have expressed their interest to invest in
Bangladesh for producing more charcoal products. Though the sector has a tremendous opportunity
for such export, some bottlenecks in the sector still remain.
There will be an inter-ministerial meeting to address the bottlenecks of the new prospective sector at
the ministry of textiles and jute (MoTJ) on July 31.
The meeting will discuss providing incentives on charcoal export, extending green loans for the
sector and formation of a Charcoal Board to look after the sector's problems, a high official of the
MoTJ told the FE.
"We want government cooperation to gear up charcoal export," Syed Manirul Islam, a leading
exporter told the FE.

 
He said, there are about 3,000 factories in China which need a huge quantity of charcoal.
A small factory requires at least 100 tonnes of charcoal for producing products monthly. Per tonne of
charcoal costs between US $ 800 and $ 900.
